We arrived here at last light on Thursday evening, feeling our way in amongst the rocks to what would be a lovely anchorage if the sun was shining. But true to this year's form it's blowing a hooly and raining. Never mind; we had a comfortable night on a buoy and a fry up for breakfast, so all is well in Aquila's world.


Plan is to depart here c.1500 and get into Penzance marina when the gates open at HW this evening. Tom will leave us on Saturday, and Mike West joins us on Sunday. Strong westerlies forecast for early next week, so we should have a blast.
